What’s Your Return On Investment

February 7, 2006 by Chuck | 3 Comments

A lady I know went through a job transition recently.

An office nurse for a doctor, she suddenly found herself changing jobs when the doc retired.

She welcomed the transition because she wanted to work for herself.

My wife and I saw her today and asked her how her business was going.

She said “great”.

I asked … what’s your gross income per hour?

She didn’t know.

In her defense, she had several activities that yielded different potential returns per hour.

The question is, if you don’ t know what you’re making per hour, are you sure you’re even making a profit?

    Yes, that may be right but what if she just has fun?
    Making money is fine, a profit is fine, but when is it enough? You need to set a limit – a bottom line. The rest is fun and that’s is worth something to.

    At least in my opinion.

    Hello Erno,

    I agree to a point. However in this person’s case, her stated desire and plan was to both work at home and replace her prior earnings.

    So she had to be concerned about it to some degree!
